Def looking good so far! How far are the lights? Thatās always the delicate balance, not too far to where you get major stretch, not too close to burn the delicate sprouts. You could (very carefully) start adding medium around the base, or post it to stabilize, in case they stretch more and get top heavy. Also, a fan (not directly blowing on them) above in the tent will create a gentle breeze thatāll force the plant to bulk itās stem to support itselfā¦still would rec propping with a toothpick/twist tie or some prop so they donāt blow over.
Hereās a good read on common mistakes at the seedling stage, talks about stretchy/leggy growth.
Also, this stage enjoys blue-leaning light spectra. A simple 5000K (daylight) LED lightbulb in a clamp lamp wonāt produce much heat, is super cheap and long lasting, and will give it some blue wavelengths to supplement your current light. You can get about 6-8 inches away with the clamp to prevent more stretch.
Iām no pro so take advice from others, I just have done a lot of research and am regurgitating a lot of what the awesome growers on here have said. Best of luck, cheers šŖ“š±
No prob There are amazing growers on here thatāll help you at any stageā¦some mind blowing grows if you have the time to peruse and learn. Iāve soaked up so much info the past couple months and everyone has been super cool here. Keep the pics coming, best way to get more eyes on your thread for an array of advice as you progress!
I absolutely agree. Believe me any information helps lol . I wont get mad at any suggestions yk its all bout learnin with this process Iām starting to understand that more and more . You all definitely narrowed down issues Iām picking up lil by lil . Hopefully it gets there fingers crossed .
Meant to ask too: 1) how much are you watering, and 2) are there drain holes in those pots? You donāt want to keep them too wet constantly at this stage, can stunt the root development (or lead to rot if you donāt have proper drainage). Noticed itās wet in every picā¦I looked back and your first post was two days ago, so if youāre watering every couple days and allowing to dry in-between that should be good, but if youāre keeping it humid they likely wonāt be drying out enough between waterings.
I spray them with a air pressure mister I donāt really water them crazy just Yk a circular mist around the pot . I normally stick my finger in the soil to see if itās too moist or dry . Also I keep a humidifier by the plants not sure if itās a good idea just lmk your thoughts .
Sounds good to me (how you water) and yes on the humidifierā¦from what I know higher RH to start (60-70% ?) and then gradually decrease over the grow, likely needing a dehumidifier (end around 40% ?). The ? are so others can correct if iām wrong on the numbers. Saw a hygrometer in a pic so looks like youāre getting pretty well dialed in
Hereās an update on these lovely ladies šŖ“:sunglasses: so far so good . I moved them to a bigger pot bc they were growing pretty quickly. I hope everyone is having a relaxing day & keep the peace
I know I havenāt posted a while works been busy but anyway this an update on my girls and how theyāre doing and honestly I think itās going great . I havenāt topped any of them I just tucked bigger fan leaves under smaller fan leave and let those branches reach the top as much as possible. I do not have calculations on how much Iāll get & I am not a professional so I would not be able to give you 100% on how to grow bc Iām experimenting myself lol . Please keep the peace
So I noticed these bottom leaves turning yellow and I pulled on em gently and they didnāt rip off they felt healthy like but there yellow not sure if in a couple days theyāll die off cuz of.
A. Light barely is reaching it .
B. Nutrient burn which I pray it isnāt.
C. Potassium deficiency
These are just curve balls itās not me coming to a conclusion yet just wondering on peoples thoughts please share your thought you might just save a plant Lol just lmk I know thereās geniusās reading this rn lol your thought counts
This is here and you can kind of see the yellow leaves at the bottom . But yeah pretty much itās the lower section. Iām keeping a close eye on the rest of the leaves just to be sure on my hypothesis.
Your plant looks perfectly healthy. My guess is that leaf is so far out of light that the plant is shunting essentials away from it so it will die and drop.
I know I donāt keep up with this but I have a question for you guys/women of this fine community. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this I have assumptions but not the answer . Pls if your reading this help me please lol
